Jennifer Windrum did, and that’s how I know that now. Jennifer is a member of the Women Grow Business community, and this April, was one of our guest experts, giving us a peek into her journey from lung cancer patient activist to social entrepreneur. We promised an update when she was nearing launch, and we have one, though it’s a little early.

Why Our SMACancer Update is Early

Jennifer is still in the funding stage, crowd-funding to be exact.

As of this writing, she is $22k of the way to a $35k funding goal. She still has 11 days to go, and is likely to reach her goal in that time, as community support rises and awareness of her project continues to spread.

By an unfortunate coincidence, Leslie’s health took a sharp decline just as the campaign began to gain momentum. For days I’d been trying to come up with some kind of objective way to express how this makes the realization of Jennifer’s and Leslie’s desire to launch this business that much more urgent.

How You Can Help SMACancer

Let’s help Jennifer bring the SMAC sock monkeys to life. And maybe in a few months she can come share her story of how she was able to crowd-fund a B corporation to life.
